[0022] When a symmetrical monopole ice melting device experiences a pole-to-ground fault, the overvoltage stress borne by the arm sub-module during the electromagnetic transient process may cause equipment damage. Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for analyzing the pole-to-ground fault of an ice melting device considering transient characteristics. Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which shows a schematic flowchart of the method for analyzing the pole-to-ground fault of an ice melting device considering transient characteristics in one embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps: S1. Create a simulation environment according to the topological structure and historical sub-module operation data of the symmetrical monopole ice melting device to be tested.

[0023] Obtain the topological structure of the symmetrical monopole ice melting device to be tested. The topological structure of the symmetrical monopole ice melting device is usually designed based on a modular multilevel converter, and the core is to realize the DC ice melting function through the series and parallel combination of sub-modules. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, a high-precision electromagnetic transient simulation tool (such as PSCAD / EMTDC or MATLAB / Simulink) can be selected to establish a simulation model including a sub-module cascade structure. Correspondingly, various parameters for the reasonable operation of the device should be configured in the simulation software, and the parameter configuration can be carried out through the obtained historical sub-module operation data, including configuring the capacitance value, rated voltage value, IGBT withstand voltage level, switching strategy (such as switching timing) of the arm sub-module, etc.

[0024] Exemplarily, the topology of the symmetrical monopole ice melting device to be tested in this embodiment can be that multiple arms are connected in parallel, and each arm is composed of several sub-modules connected in series. The sub-module can adopt a half-bridge or full-bridge form. For example, one arm of the device contains 10 sub-modules. If the rated voltage of each sub-module is 1 kV, the total voltage of the arm can reach 10 kV, thus meeting the DC output required for ice melting.

[0025] Furthermore, before the fault simulation, to ensure the simulation efficiency and accuracy, this embodiment will calibrate the constructed simulation model. Specifically, in this embodiment, the simulation parameters are optimized by analyzing the characteristic distribution of the sub-module during the historical switching process.

[0026] First, construct a feature dataset, extract features from the historical switching data in the historical sub-module operation data, construct a switching feature dataset, and input it into a pre-constructed statistical distribution model to output the characteristic distribution during the sub-module switching process. In this embodiment, the extracted switching features include switching frequency, the number of sub-modules involved in a single switching, date, and capacitor voltage value.

[0027] Subsequently, adjust the sub-module parameters of the symmetrical monopole ice melting device to be tested according to the characteristic distribution, and update the simulation environment with the adjusted sub-module parameters and topological structure.

[0028] Exemplarily, the switching operation records of the sub-module in the past year can be extracted from historical data. Suppose the record shows that the switching frequency is concentrated between 50Hz and 100Hz, and each switching involves 2 to 5 sub-modules. Using statistical analysis methods, characteristic distributions are obtained, such as maximum likelihood estimation, regression analysis, Poisson distribution, or normal distribution, etc. For example, the number of switching operations follows a normal distribution, with a mean of 3 sub-modules and a standard deviation of 1. This indicates high-frequency switching, and the capacitor needs to be charged and discharged frequently. Based on this, the capacitance value is optimized from 1000μF to 1200μF to improve the response speed of the topology during the simulation process.

[0029] In another embodiment of the present invention, the voltage waveform of a 10kV arm under 50Hz switching is simulated in a simulation environment. In the initial configuration, the waveform may have an overshoot of 5%. After adjustment through the characteristic distribution, the overshoot is reduced to 2%, indicating that the parameter optimization is effective. If the calculation resource occupancy exceeds the standard, such as the CPU usage rate reaches 90% exceeding the threshold of 80%, then through the load balancing algorithm, the simulation tasks are allocated to a multi-core processor, and the usage rate is reduced to 70% after optimization, improving the simulation efficiency.

[0030] S2. Perform a fault simulation on the to-be-tested symmetrical single-pole de-icing device with preset pole-to-ground fault parameters to obtain the voltage transient waveforms of the sub-modules of the to-be-tested symmetrical single-pole de-icing device under different switching states.

[0031] After the simulation environment is set up, the pole-to-ground fault parameters will be defined to simulate the pole-to-ground faults that may occur during the actual operation of the symmetrical single-pole de-icing device. Specifically, the pole-to-ground faults include fault types such as single-phase grounding, two-phase grounding, three-phase grounding, and pole-to-ground short circuit, and the fault locations involve the upper arm, lower arm, or specific sub-modules of the arm.

[0032] The fault parameters to be set include the transition resistance value, phase current / voltage value, short-circuit resistance value, and duration, etc. Taking the pole-to-ground short-circuit fault as an example: Suppose the short-circuit fault occurs in the 3rd sub-module of the upper arm, and the fault parameters can be set such as the short-circuit resistance is 0.1 ohm and the fault triggering time is 0.5 seconds. For the above short-circuit fault, the simulation result will show that the voltage of the 3rd sub-module instantaneously rises to 1500 volts (the normal value is 1000 volts).

[0033] It should be understood that during the simulation process, the pre-configured sub-module switching strategy, that is, the input, cut-off, and switching frequencies of the sub-modules, will also be involved in the simulation. Specifically, in different pole-to-ground fault scenarios, by injecting different input / cut-off states, the fault scenarios are run in the electromagnetic transient simulation environment to collect the port voltage transient waveform data of each sub-module. Preferably, the sampling rate is set ≥10kHz.

[0034] S3. Conduct voltage stress analysis on the voltage transient waveform to obtain the voltage stress distribution data and waveform anomaly points of the sub-module.

[0035] It can be understood that the voltage transient waveform in the initial stage of the fault contains core information such as the fault type (short circuit / grounding) and location (upper / middle section of the arm), which is the data basis for subsequent device diagnosis and control. That is, the voltage transient waveform records the information of the voltage change over time during the fault process, including the peak voltage, rising rate, and duration, and these indicators reflect the voltage stress distribution of the sub-module in the initial stage of the fault.

[0036] Among them, the peak voltage refers to the maximum value of the instantaneous voltage, which reflects the overvoltage risk; the rising rate refers to the speed at which the voltage rises from the steady state to the peak value, reflecting the rapid release of electromagnetic energy; the duration refers to the time when the voltage exceeds the safety threshold, which is related to the tolerance ability of the equipment.

[0037] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the voltage signal data in the voltage transient waveform is extracted, and the input and cut-off states of the sub-module are divided according to the voltage signal data. Exemplarily, the voltage signal data in the voltage transient waveform can be extracted by a high-speed data collector, or the waveform can be subjected to spectrum analysis by using Fourier transform, and the noise is filtered through filter processing to obtain the required voltage signal data (i.e., voltage amplitude, time, rising / falling rate, oscillation frequency, etc.).

[0038] Regarding the process of dividing the sub-module switching state in the waveform, in this embodiment, traversal is performed in the waveform by setting a division threshold. Specifically, the difference between the voltage signal data and the preset rated voltage value of the sub-module is calculated, and the division threshold is set based on the difference. Based on the division threshold, the sliding window algorithm is used to traverse in the voltage transient waveform to determine the switching state of the sub-module. Exemplarily, if the determination threshold for the input state is set to 1.1 times the rated value and lasts for more than 1 ms, and the determination threshold for the cut-off state is set to 0.9 times the rated value.

[0039] It can be understood that the switching of the switching state directly affects the voltage distribution. When a sub-module is input or cut off, the charging and discharging process of the capacitor will change its voltage. If the switching is unbalanced, some sub-modules may charge and discharge frequently, resulting in large fluctuations in the capacitor voltage, while the voltage of other sub-modules remains stable. This will affect the voltage distribution of the entire converter, may cause voltage imbalance, increase harmonics, and even damage the equipment.

[0040] Based on this, in this embodiment, according to the partitioning result, i.e., the switched states partitioned, the voltage stress index values corresponding to the sub-modules in each switched state are calculated. That is, the quantization results of the peak voltage, the rising rate, and the duration. Exemplarily, as shown in the simulation process, the voltage of the sub-module in the bypass state is 0V, and after being switched in, the detected voltage peak is 1800V, exceeding the safety threshold of 1500V. By comparing the data at different times, it can be found that the voltage stress increases significantly at the moment of switching in, while it tends to be stable during bypass, revealing the law of state switching and voltage stress change.

[0041] Furthermore, statistical analysis is performed on the voltage stress index values to obtain voltage stress distribution data. In this embodiment, multi-index joint analysis can be performed on the voltage stress index values to fit the voltage stress distribution curve of the sub-module, and the voltage stress distribution can be visually obtained from the curve. Exemplarily, three indexes, namely the peak voltage, the rising rate, and the duration, can be combined to draw a two-dimensional histogram or a contour map to obtain the distribution curve.

[0042] Furthermore, abnormal waveform segments can be marked according to these index values, and waveform abnormal points in the voltage transient waveform can be marked according to the screening factor calculated from the voltage stress index values. In this embodiment, it should be understood that the abnormal segment refers to a specific time interval marked in the voltage transient waveform due to overvoltage or the voltage change rate exceeding the preset threshold, which can be used for the accurate positioning of the root cause of equipment failure in the subsequent process, and can also quantify the tolerance ability of the equipment.

[0043] Among them, the screening factor is used to screen out abnormal wave bands that exceed / fall below the set threshold in the waveform. Specifically, the overvoltage multiple and the voltage change rate are calculated according to the voltage stress index values, and the overvoltage multiple and the voltage change rate are used as double screening factors. When any one of the double screening factors exceeds the preset abnormal threshold, waveform abnormal points will be marked in the voltage transient waveform. Exemplarily, the overvoltage multiple is determined by the ratio between the peak voltage and the rated voltage. If the peak voltage is 2kV and the rated voltage is 1kV, then the overvoltage multiple is 2 / 1 = 2 p.u. And if the set overvoltage multiple threshold is 1.5kV, it indicates that the voltage stress exceeds the safety range and needs to be marked as an abnormal segment.

[0044] The calculation of the voltage change rate (dv / dt) requires the voltage difference and the time difference. In this embodiment, the voltage-time series is extracted from the waveform, and the differential method is used to calculate the instantaneous change rate. Exemplarily, the ratio of the difference between the voltage values corresponding to the 1.1ms moment and the 1.0ms moment to the time change amount is calculated to obtain the corresponding voltage change rate. When this change amount exceeds the threshold (such as 7kV / ms), it indicates that the voltage stress exceeds the safety range and needs to be marked as an abnormal segment.

[0045] The above process takes the switching state of the sub-module as an index to evaluate the voltage stress distribution borne by sub-modules in different switching states. In some embodiments of the present invention, the topology structure of the sub-module is further introduced as an evaluation index to further analyze the voltage stress distribution of the sub-module under different topological connection modes (such as half-bridge, full-bridge or hybrid structure). It should be understood that the number and connection mode of switching devices in different topological structures are different, which will affect the voltage distribution path and the voltage withstand capacity of the devices. Moreover, in the case of a fault, the fault current blocking capabilities of different topological structures are different, which will also affect the voltage stress distribution during the fault.

[0046] Based on this, in this embodiment, the topological connection mode of the sub-module in the symmetric monopole ice melting device to be tested is adjusted. For example, it is adjusted from a full-bridge structure to a half-bridge structure, and the number of branches is correspondingly adjusted, and the simulation environment is updated with the adjusted first topological structure.

[0047] In the updated simulation environment, the input / removal logic of the sub-module is controlled to perform fault simulation again, and the corresponding comparative voltage transient waveforms of the sub-module under different topological structures are obtained according to the simulation results. It should be noted that the switching logic is usually determined by the pulse width modulation signal. For example, adjusting the modulation ratio from 0.8 to 0.9 may cause the switching frequency of the sub-module to increase, and the voltage stress to rise from 1600V to 1900V. Thus, it can also be judged that the switching control strategy needs to balance the switching frequency and the stress level to avoid frequent switching and amplifying the stress.

[0048] Similar to the above analysis method, statistical analysis is performed on the comparative voltage transient waveforms, the voltage stress index values are calculated, and the comparative voltage stress distribution data is obtained.

[0049] Exemplarily, it is assumed that the sub-module adopts a half-bridge topology. When in the input state, the capacitor bears all the voltage, and there is no stress when bypassed. In an arm containing 10 sub-modules, a certain sub-module has a higher voltage stress of 2000V because its topological position is close to the midpoint of the arm compared with the two ends. And this distribution difference actually also indicates that the topological design of this device needs to be optimized.

[0050] Regarding the influence of the above switching state and topological structure on the voltage stress distribution, this embodiment further analyzes the importance of the two influences. Specifically, in this embodiment, the voltage stress distribution data and the comparative voltage stress distribution data are compared and analyzed to determine the high-order index affecting the voltage stress of the sub-module.

[0051] Specifically, first, preprocess the first topology structure, the switching states of sub-modules, the voltage stress distribution data, and the comparative voltage stress distribution data to obtain the dataset to be input. Exemplarily, for a changed topology structure, each of its structure types can be mapped into a one-hot encoded form, and the number of branches can be standardized. For the switching states, they can be discretized.

[0052] Input the dataset to be input into the trained random forest model, output the importance scores affecting the voltage stress index, sort the importance scores, and determine the high-order indexes that have a greater impact on the voltage stress distribution according to the sorting results. For example, if the random forest model output shows that the importance of the topology type is 28% and the switching state is 32%, then the switching state is the high-order influencing index. Exemplarily, in the subsequent device optimization process, more attention will be paid to formulating a more reasonable switching control strategy.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the simulation process will be optimized according to the differences in the voltage stress distribution under different index variables to improve the accuracy of the simulation results.

[0054] Specifically, first, according to the voltage stress distribution data, compare the first voltage stress differences of the sub-modules under different switching states. Exemplarily, the voltage stress distribution curves under different switching states previously fitted can be compared and analyzed. Or compare the mean differences between the voltage stress index value data of two groups under different switching states.

[0055] Similarly, according to the comparative voltage stress distribution data, use methods such as the mean calculation method and the principal component analysis method to compare the second voltage stress differences of the sub-modules under different topological connection modes.

[0056] Input the preprocessed first voltage stress difference and second voltage stress difference into the pre-trained difference classification model to obtain the stress difference levels of each sub-module. For example, the output labels are 0 / 1 / 2, corresponding to the results of low / medium / high risk respectively. For example, these difference data can be cleaned and standardized. Preferably, in this embodiment, a support vector machine pre-trained difference classification model is used.

[0057] Modify the sub-module topology structure and switching state parameters according to the stress difference levels, and re-iterate the simulation and stress analysis processes. Exemplarily, if the output is a high-risk difference, the switching strategy can be optimized to reduce the switching frequency. If the output is a medium risk, the topology structure can be adjusted, and the half-bridge can be replaced with a hybrid bridge. If the output is a low risk, the current parameters can be maintained and the current simulation test can be continued.

[0058] S4 - S5: Input the voltage stress distribution data and waveform anomaly points into the pre - trained fault prediction model for processing to obtain the fault prediction results corresponding to the sub - modules. Based on the fault prediction results, determine the fault risk level of the symmetric monopolar ice - melting device to be measured.

[0059] This step is the process of fault prediction. Preferably, a support vector machine model is trained to obtain this fault prediction model. The model will output the classification probability of fault types, the confidence interval of fault locations, and a list of abnormal sub - module numbers, so as to accurately locate the fault location and identify the fault type. In some embodiments of the present invention, when using the support vector machine algorithm to establish a fault prediction model, it can be trained based on key input variables. For example, if the input data set contains two types of samples, normal and faulty, the voltage peak of normal samples is mostly below 580V, while that of faulty samples is above 620V. The model determines the fault type such as "over - voltage fault" and the location such as "the 3rd sub - module of the arm" by finding the optimal classification boundary.

[0060] After obtaining the above - mentioned fault prediction results, this embodiment will further conduct a risk assessment on the fault prediction results. Extract features from the fault prediction results to obtain a fault feature data set. These features include but are not limited to: voltage peak, ripple coefficient, current amplitude, and fault type, etc.

[0061] Input the fault feature data set into the pre - trained risk prediction model to obtain the fault risk level, and formulate corresponding maintenance strategies for the symmetric monopolar ice - melting device to be measured based on the fault risk level. Exemplarily, a risk prediction model can be trained by using a random forest model, a LightGBM gradient - boosting decision tree model, etc.

[0062] Exemplarily, if the level is high - risk: predicted as a three - phase ground fault, and the anomaly point density > 5 points / ms, or the peak mean exceeds the threshold by 30%, it is recommended to immediately cut off the faulty arm and enable the maintenance strategy of the redundant sub - module.

[0063] If the level is low - risk: predicted as a single - phase ground fault, the anomaly point density < 2 points / ms, and the peak mean does not exceed the standard, it is recommended to conduct regular inspections and record the trend of anomaly points.

[0064] In summary, in the embodiments of the present invention, an electromagnetic transient simulation environment is constructed to analyze the voltage transient characteristics under pole-to-ground faults. Combining the switching states of sub-modules, the voltage peak value, rising rate, and duration for evaluating the voltage stress distribution are analyzed, and the abnormal points are located. Further, a machine learning model is established using a support vector machine. With the voltage stress distribution and abnormal points as inputs, the fault types and locations occurring in the ice melting device are predicted. It can quickly distinguish fault characteristics, effectively locate the source of the problem, and finally evaluate the damage risk level of sub-modules based on the prediction results, so as to formulate effective maintenance and early warning strategies. The present invention effectively integrates dynamic simulation and machine learning technologies, makes up for the deficiencies of traditional steady-state analysis, and provides an accurate risk assessment basis for improving equipment reliability and power grid safe operation.
